flying over that way tomorrow. We would like to fly Erdman over with some of his 
equipment and send the rest hy boat. Gurley has a great deal of equipment which 
we could use, and we are assured of ample refrigeration space until our own 
preservatives arrive. I notice in my letter I referred to the small sum for 
collecting clothes for Gurley. This should have been ''Erdman” instead. Gurley 
will he amply provided for with all the equipment he needs, including boats and

the select spots. Gurley knows our needs from his experience at Bikini, and 
he will see to it that nothing stands in the way of ample collecting opportunities 
for Erdman.
